Each level is scored on its own scale — elementary, middle, and high are never ranked against each other.

Stage 1 of 2

The elementary years

One school defines the top: Meadows Arts and Technology Elementary sits 21 points clear of the field — the other 3 elementary schools are a different conversation.

0100

Strong Solid Developing Needs Support district avg state avg

36 points separate the strongest and weakest of these 4 elementary schools — the average hides more than it tells.

The strength

Meadows Arts and Technology Elementary (75/100) holds the Strong band — 56.1% of its students exceed the state standard, against a level average of 33.9%.

The catch

36 points separate the top and bottom elementary schools — the district average won't predict the school in front of you.

The high school years

One high school: Vista Real Charter High at 11/100 — the whole story at this level is one campus.

One dot, one school — there is no spread to read at this level.

1 continuation/alternative school not plotted — it ranks within its own class, not on this statewide axis.

The strength

Vista Real Charter High is the strongest option at 11/100 — 3.0% of its students exceed the state standard.

The catch

63.4% of students are chronically absent (state: 23.1%) — chronic means missing 10% or more of the school year. Whatever the scores say, ask each school what it is doing about attendance.

What it means for your family

If you're choosing a neighborhood

Compare schools at your child’s level before deciding on an address. Every ranked elementary school here is a charter or magnet, so the application matters more than the address — see the next card.

If you already live here

5 of the 5 ranked schools are charters — enrollment paths that don't depend on your address. If your zoned school sits low in the appendix below, those lotteries and applications are the levers worth the paperwork.

If your kid is enrolled now

A band is a position, not a prophecy — a school's number can move without your kid's experience moving with it. Ask your school two questions: what happens for a kid who arrives behind, and what the classroom looks like for one who arrives ahead.

Top scorers at each level — not necessarily one zoned sequence. Confirm feeder patterns and enrollment zones with the district, and visit before you decide.

What this page can't see: whether a campus feels safe and glad at 8 a.m. If a path above looks workable, the next step is a visit.

Frequently asked questions

How many schools are listed in Ventura County Office of Education?

This SchoolScope directory lists 5 public schools in Ventura County Office of Education with 2024–25 reporting records. This is directory coverage, not a complete campus inventory. Each school appears under its primary reporting level; a K–8 or K–12 campus may serve additional grades.

Which schools have the highest scores in Ventura County Office of Education?

Among comprehensive public schools listed here, the highest Scope Score at each primary reporting level is: Elementary: Meadows Arts and Technology Elementary (75/100). These are separate level rankings, not a single cross-level league table. A score does not establish fit or enrollment eligibility. See the methodology.

Can I compare elementary, middle, and high schools directly?

Compare schools at the same level and within the same enrollment group. Scope Score formulas and available measures differ by level. The plots show comprehensive public schools separately for each level; individual profiles explain their comparison group.

Does living in Ventura County Office of Education guarantee a particular school?

A district outline does not establish assignment to an individual school. Attendance boundaries, programs, permits, and available space can affect enrollment. Confirm the requirements directly with the district.

What does a SchoolScope pattern mean?

Archetypes summarize patterns in publicly reported academic and school-climate measures. They describe reported results, not a school’s quality or a child’s fit. Open the school profile for reporting years, missing measures, and questions to ask. Read how the patterns are defined.

Where do these results come from?

The underlying public data comes from the California Department of Education, including CAASPP reporting for 2024–25. Scope Scores and archetypes are SchoolScope calculations, not official CDE ratings. View CDE data and SchoolScope’s methodology and limitations.
